Growing up we had Taskers Train store in Pontiac, Mi, and Models Hobbies in Ferndale, (the 60's) Later we would go to Downtown Train and Camera in Detroit, (the 70's). Now its P&D in Roseville, Great Lakes Hobbies in Utica,and Empire Trains in Troy.
That sounds like fun! Was Models Hobbies the Hobby Shop with the railroad cross bucks? That's interesting that there was another Train and Camera Shop. That seemed like a unique mix to me with respect to Lopo's.

Yep, Model Hobbies had the cross bucks on top, a great place! Carr's Hobbies in Duluth, MN still had the old time flavor last time I was there - 2 summers ago. Hope that it's still there.
